Lindsay Culbert-Olds’s flight of fancy is now her profession

Arlington native Lindsay Culbert-Olds left home in 2010 to pursue a professional career in circus performance art, enrolling in a renowned circus school — think of “Fame,” except the students are lion-tamers, jugglers, contortionists, and trapeze artists. Culbert-Olds is now an accomplished aerialist and is back on home turf with her company, Frequently Asked Questions, to perform for a sold-out crowd at the Arlington Center for the Arts on Aug. 19-20.
